Whoever is relegated will find it more difficult to bounce back at the first time of asking. Cannot see either Leigh or Widnes maintaining their SL gates which will put pressure on the finances. It is difficult to say how Cats fans would react. London improved this year after 2016 and I feel will be even stronger in 2018. Toronto will be somewhat of an unknown quantity but are strengthening their squad.

You seem too optimistic to say you will be only out of SL for one season should you be relegated. I'm glad you can raise a laugh though. I don't think I would be able to if in your position.

i was just being 'cocky' not sure what I think to be honest, if we get relegated. But yes, there will be at least another 2 'full time' squads in the championship 2018, and Halifax might do also. Not sure if Fev are FT already.

Rhinos did the same last season against Hudds after they had qualified. Hudds win put us in the MPG and we all know how that turned out. Don't remember you raising the issue though.

We put ourselves in the mpg, as we lost at home to Huddersfield the week after they had beaten Leeds.

Despite the sentiment flying around team selections, it's always in your own hands at the end of the day.

Proud and Dissapointed at same time . McBanana is one lucky man.Should have won that or a draw at least.Didnt see the sense in the drop goal at the time but they had to convert 2 fairly wide out try's so fair play to Walsh. Catalans for me should go down, we should have sent them on their way.

Sounds like your boys put a big shift in tonight. Well done to them. I was hoping that you would win tonight which would put pressure on Catalans. Leigh will need results to go their way now to have a decent shot at SL survival, and they only have themselves to blame for being in this situation.
Good luck in SL 2018 and hopefully we will join you.

And I thought Widnes were crap....

It just shows something is wrong at Catalans when there scraping a win against our reserves with the squad they have taking nothing away from an excellent performance from us I was proud of all of them thought Atkin was excellent ZDC is a tough little player and nice to see one of Cockaynes 20 yard murder balls on his own line again

CATS were rubbish if they can not beat a team with 11 first team players out, I do not want to say this but I hope they go down

I think it spoke volumes when they elected to take the 2 only 20 meters out from our line with a full set to play. They look weaker than Leigh and Widnes.
